This book provides an introduction to the structure and morphology of ancient and historic metallic materials. It deals extensively with many practical matters relating to the mounting, preparation, etching, polishing, and microscopy of metallic samples and includes an account of the way in which phase diagrams can be used to assist structural interpretation. The text is supplemented by an extensive number of microstructural studies carried out in the laboratory on ancient and historic metals.

Book Text Now Updated,
By scott "David A. Scott" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Metallography and Microstructure in Ancient and Historic Metals (Getty Trust Publications: Getty Conservation Institute) (Paperback)
I am the author of this metallography book, which is now out of print. This book has been superceded by the first volume of my new book, entilted "Ancient Metals: Microstructure and Metallurgy, Volume 1, which will be available on Amazon in February 2011. This new volume covers in detail the metallography of ancient copper alloys and is published by CSP: Conservation Science Press, ISBN 978-0-9829338-0-0. This volume is now the recommended update to the out of print volume reviewed here. My new textbook will only cost about 57 dollars, and is 180 pages, full colour throughout. The cost of the old printed text is now prohibitive. Dr. David A. Scott
